Smyle Mouse

Control your world with a smile.

Smyle Mouse software is the next-generation in head mouse technology. It includes a head pointer, smile clicker, and a dwell clicker. You can use it as a powerful head mouse or as a novel access method where your smile acts as a switch.

Just download Smyle Mouse on your Windows device and start using it in minutes. The software recognizes and tracks your facial gestures with a webcam that may already be part of your device.

No mounting of specialized cameras, adaptive switches, or stickers-on-face required.

Smyle Mouse comes included with the I-Series+ devices (I-15+ and I-12+). For use with other eye tracking devices, please contact us.

What is Smyle Mouse?

The Smyle Mouse is the next generation in head mouse assistive technology. It includes traditional head mouse functions as well as a face gesture based clicker and a dwell clicker, all bundled together in one convenient software package. It allows complete hands-free and voice-free mouse control of devices running Microsoft Windows® 7 or above.

Using Smyle Mouse, you have complete mouse control over your device using simple facial gestures. These facial gestures can include gentle head motion and facial expressions such as smiling.

Along with movement of the mouse pointer by use of head motion, Smyle Mouse also provides clicking, scrolling and dragging actions, using patent pending gestures. Head mouse control can be activated by the act of smiling. For example, to move the cursor (using head motion), smile as you move your head. Once the cursor starts moving (which is instantaneous), it will keep on moving until you stop smiling and stop moving your head. To click, do a quick smile; that is, smile for a short duration. Having said that, out of the box, Smyle Mouse emulates traditional head mouses in that it does not require the user to smile to start mouse pointer motion. For more details, watch one of our short demo videos.

What are the system requirements to use the Smyle Mouse™ Head Mouse?

Smyle Mouse head mouse software currently runs only on the Microsoft Windows operating system. It is designed to run on Windows 7 and above.

Our head mouse has very modest hardware requirements. A webcam with a resolution of at least 480 X 240 is sufficient. We encourage you to use the front facing camera that is part of your laptop or tablet, but you can use an external webcam if you so choose. For best performance, we recommend a dual core CPU with speed of at least 1.5Ghz, 4GB RAM memory and 1/2 GB of free disk space.

If you are not sure about your exact computer specifications, just go ahead and download the software, and take it for a spin!

What improvements does the latest Smyle Mouse™ release have?

The latest version of Smyle Mouse head mouse (v1.6.2 released in September 2017) incorporates new/advanced settings (in the Settings->Clicking tab) to allow using Smyle Mouse as a switch with AAC software. This can be useful for people with excessive, uncontrolled body / head motions (such as with Cerebral Palsy) to use their smile as a switch input. On the other extreme, it can also allow people with very little ability to move their body / head (such as with ALS) to use their smile as a switch input.
